After leaving the Dabao Hall, Cheng Chubi walked with his body floating.
Five hundred thousand acres of wasteland, and it was given for free. Cheng Chubi could not wait to rush back home and ask for support.
Fang Jun, Fang Erlang, also knew that he had considered the affordability of the Han and Tang dynasties.
"Brother Chu Bi, where can we find so many people to grow cotton? Five hundred thousand acres, this is not a small amount..."
Li Ke, an excellent royal tool man, walked out of the palace, threw off his dumbfounded mask, and returned to his normal IQ state.
He patted Fang Jun's with his big hand and raised the corners of his mouth happily.
"We don't need to cultivate half a million acres at once."
"Liangzhou is another important town where Datang controls the Hexi Corridor. It has always had a large population and can always recruit enough manpower."
"If nothing else, as long as we can open up 20,000 to 30,000 acres of wasteland to plant cotton next year.
Taking out 6,000 acres will be enough to supply the court with 200,000 sets of winter clothes."
"The remaining cotton is used to make winter coats and sell them. Not only can all the costs be recovered, but you can also make a lot of money."
"With money, we can recruit more people and reclaim more wasteland..."
Cheng Chubi saw Li Ke's grinning and glaring look, and couldn't help but strike him.
"You'd better think about it carefully first. Hantang Commercial Bank has little money now. If you want to do this, all shareholders must first spend some money."
"Even if you get the land for free and I will provide the cotton seeds, recruiting manpower, purchasing farming tools and cattle, nothing costs money?"
As soon as he heard that he had not earned any money yet and had to pay again, Li Ke suddenly felt a pain in his heart.
"How much will this cost..."
When Fang Jun saw Li Ke's appearance, he couldn't help but comfort him.
"Why do you feel bad for Brother De? The one in front of you and Her Royal Highness Princess Jinyang are the major shareholders, okay?"
After hearing this, Li Ke finally felt a little better. That's right, he only had three shares, Cheng Sanlang had twenty shares, and little Sizi had ten shares.
They accounted for almost half of the shares of Han and Tang Commercial Banks. When I think of these three shares, I still shed tears.
She didn't even have to give up her face to get it together, but that girl Xiao Sizi easily acted coquettishly and cutely to her father, and got ten shares in exchange for it.
This made Li Ke feel really distressed. Forget it, he was a fair-faced adult after all, so he didn't care about girls.
#####
Not far away, Li Ke suddenly thought of something important. Before his father gave him an answer, he hurried back to the Dabao Hall.
Seeing Li Ke coming over in a hurry, Li Shimin, who was just about to lie down and collect his thoughts, could only sit up.
After Li Ke bowed respectfully, he looked at his father eagerly and asked.
"Father, I don't know what the child reported before. Father already has a charter..."
When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. After all, he had already hinted to several important officials in the court that he was ready to let Li Ke go to Anzhou.
Just a few days ago, Li Ke suddenly mentioned that he wanted to go to Shu to take up a post, and Li Shimin responded casually.
I thought this guy would figure it out on his own, but now that he's here again, Li Shimin is really not happy.
"Before I became a father, I asked you to go to Shu to take up your post. It would be better for you to excuse yourself from illness and not be willing to go to Shu where the road is difficult and dangerous.
In the end, for your sake, my father set a precedent for the prince to lead the governor from afar..."
"But now, you tell my father that you want to go to Shu. Ke'er, don't treat the country's major affairs as a child's play."
"Father... I understand that I was young and ignorant in the past and did not know my father's painstaking efforts."
"Now that the child has grown up and is sensible, he understands the father's expectation that the child will be brave enough to take on responsibilities..."
Li Shimin stroked his long beard and watched Li Ke speaking solemnly and impassionedly in front of him.
It's impossible not to be touched. Under his knees are the now adult princes, Prince Chengqian, Li Ke, Li Tai and Li You.
When it comes to talents and temperament, Li Ke is the one who is most like himself.
It is precisely because of this that Li Shimin hopes that this child can be more responsible.
However, this kid was extremely slippery, and Li Shimin understood what he was thinking, so he had no choice but to let him go.
But now, he suddenly jumped out again and told himself about responsibility.
Li Shimin thought about it with his toes and felt that there must be a demon moth here...
When I think of the adjective Yao Mozi, the image of Cheng Chubi, the King of Yao Mozi, springs to mind again.
Is it possible that he is also related to Cheng Sanlang?
Li Shimin looked suspiciously at Sanlang, who was full of energy and spitting.
I always feel that this guy's current image is very similar to Cheng Sanlang's serious and nonsensical appearance.
When he thought of this, Li Shimin couldn't restrain his temper and wanted to find the truth.
"Ke'er, please stop for a moment, um...could it be related to Cheng Sanlang?"
"..." Li Ke turned his head and saw his father's eagle eyes that could see through the world. He could only be sincerely convinced and prostrated himself in front of the case like a jade pillar pushing down a mountain of gold.
"My father is wise and unparalleled in wisdom. Yes, he does have some relationship with Brother Chu Bi."
"I knew it..." Li Shimin wiped his face with a black line and uttered angrily.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
"Father, after listening to what Brother Chu Bi said recently, I seem to be interested in leaving Chang'an and taking up a new job somewhere..."
"..."
#####
"I have a headache..." Li Shimin touched his forehead and said it was a headache. In fact, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was in pain.
That boy Cheng Sanlang wanted to be released. Li Shimin was very happy to hear the news.
After all, Cheng Sanlang can be regarded as the most outstanding among the younger generation in terms of talent and ability.
Moreover, with the close relationship between Cheng Sanlang and Prince Cheng Qian, he will definitely become Cheng Qian's powerful assistant in the future.
For such a talented person, Li Shimin was very optimistic about his future.
Therefore, even if Cheng Sanlang did not take the initiative to ask for release, Li Shimin would consider kicking this guy out of the court in a year or two who was causing trouble all day long in Chang'an.
Let him go to his post and polish it well, so that he can have the capital to sit in the center in the future.
However, this guy actually wanted to go to Shu, which immediately made Li Shimin wary.
The land of Shu is a rich land. What is this guy doing there?
If Cheng Chubi asked to go to the barren land to show off his talents, Li Shimin would naturally agree with his hands. After all, he wanted to see this kid's ability to control the place.
Even if this kid does something wrong or something goes wrong, Li Shimin is confident that with a little help, he can still put things right.
But when we go to the rich Shu land, if this kid acts randomly, it will be a big problem.
Shu and Jiangnan can be regarded as the two most prosperous places in the Tang Dynasty.
The slightest disturbance would shake up the court. With Cheng Sanlang's temperament, letting him go to Shu was really uneasy.
